Hi, Kirk,

Excuse me, but the message I sent did include the return from the server.
It shows what came back--the last time, and what I sent.  The system wants
a subscription in the form:

Subscribe [password] [digest|nodigest]-options address=

Now, I have tried many forms of this, and nothing works.  Being an
intelligent person who has been onmany lists, including this one, I have
to conclude that this Newbie list is not very well designed for newbies!

Even after getting the help message, the syntax is still not clear, and I
still cannot get subscribed.  I have to wonder how anyone does.
If you have not personally had experience with this nonstandard format on
a list, then you may not understand the problem.  If you get a chance to
try it, let me know if you can make it work, and what syntax you used.  I
was trying to subscribe for the digest form, plain (with no MIME
encoding), and hiding my address from spammers who regularly pirate these
lists.
